Switzerland February 2017

Ready, Set, Go!

Renault Zoe - 1 / BMW i3 - 1

The Swiss EV market registered some 400 units last month, up 19% YoY, with the EV Share now at 2.2%.

In the race for the 2017 Best Seller title, if the BMW i3 started the year in the lead, in February it was time for the Renault Zoe to shine, with 83 units, a new record for the French hatchback, no doubt thanks to the massive delivery of the ZE 40 version, allowing it to overcome the German Hot Hatch in the YTD ranking.The Tesla players remained in their places, with the Model X (30 units) once again outrunning its Model S (19) sibling, the fourth time it happened in the last six months, meaning that the Swiss audience is preferring the SUV over its lower-riding sibling.

In the manufacturers ranking, BMW (27%, down 7%) stayed in the First position, now followed by Renault (17%, up 4%), which displaced Tesla (16%, down 3%) to Third.
